1) Tobin Harbor is spelled possessive - Tobins
2) Siskiwit Lake is labeled Lake Siskowit (with an o not i)
3) On the map, Belle Isle is located at the wrong end of Amygdaloid Island. (Most likely just a human error)

January looks like the isthmus "point" on the SE corner of Snug Harbor (the small harbor that many people mistakenly call Rock Harbor). There is still an old, closed dock at that point but clearly far newer than what would have been there in 1937. I am pretty sure I have read that The South Americas (and maybe her sister ship North Americas) would visit "Rock Harbor" where a large lodge was located. If this is referring to Snug Harbor there is no way the nearly 300 foot Americas could fit inside Snug Harbor. It would have to dock at someplace such as the point. But, that's all just a guess.

The picture that caught my attention was the Ryan Island. The island has passed my peripheral vision on many occasions. I never really have observed with a discerning look before, but I swear that Ryan Island is larger than that shown in picture.

I thought the same thing, too, upon first glance... "That's a mighty big tent."
Then upon re-reading, I noticed it says "a rocky spur of Ryan Island."

I figure it's either the little Island off the North side, about mid-point, or perhaps what is now called Tea Kettle Island. That said, it wouldn't be beyond a calendar publisher in 1936 to take a photo of any Island around Siskiwit Lake, lay claim as Ryan Island, and move on.
